Not to be confused with https://www.warpstream.com/

Correct. WarpStream doesn't even support transactions.

Neither does any other Kafka protocol implementation, evidently ;)

This cuts both ways, choosing to not implement flawed portions of the spec could be seen as a good thing. I've always been a bit suspicious of the value of "bug for bug compatibility". You don't actually need transactions in Kafka in normal operation IME. I've never tried to use "streams" before and have never encountered a case where I thought they were a good trade. Better to implement that kind of stuff in a way I can control.
